Strengthening the argument for rapid brain MR imaging: estimation of reduction in lifetime attributable risk of developing fatal cancer in children with shunted hydrocephalus by instituting a rapid brain MR imaging protocol in lieu of Head CT

..To test whether there is correlation between cell densities and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) metrics of common pediatric cerebellar tumors...

Strengthening the argument for rapid brain MR imaging: estimation of reduction in lifetime attributable risk of developing fatal cancer in children with shunted hydrocephalus by instituting a rapid brain MR imaging protocol in lieu of Head CT

..In three children, the caudal ends of the double J stents were retrieved via the percutaneous nephrostomy access. Capturing the caudal end of the double J stents for retrieval made removal feasible and easy...

..The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency of the low-grade bone lesion development in the radiotherapy field in pediatric MB/PNET survivors and describe the imaging characteristics of these lesions...

Angiocentric glioma in a 4-year-old boy: imaging characteristics and review of the literature

..The purpose of our study was to compare the imaging characteristics of atypical teratoid-rhabdoid tumor with medulloblastoma and seek distinguishing features that can aid in preoperative diagnosis...

Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy: report of one calvarial lesion with T1 shortening and one maxillary lesion

..Children treated for perforated appendicitis can have significant morbidity. Management often includes looking for and draining postoperative fluid collections. We sought to determine if drainage hastens recovery...

Acute silent cerebral ischemia and infarction during acute anemia in children with and without sickle cell disease

..Some ASCIE (1 of 4 in our study) may be reversible. Alterations in management may be warranted for children with severe anemia to identify unrecognized ischemic brain injury that may have permanent neurocognitive sequelae...

..We conclude that such automatic, rapid, robust algorithms significantly increase the likelihood that multimodality registrations will be routinely used to aid clinical diagnoses and post-therapeutic assessment in the near future...
